the buzz log

As a country singer, a radio shock jock, and a basketball star each stirred up (or responded to) his own kind of skirmish this week, two women drew attention for their well-cut style. Getting in trouble, getting out of it, and looking good—welcome to the past seven days in Buzz.

Tim McGraw ain't looking for trouble
But he ain't shrinking from it, either. When a front-row audience member got rough during a Tim McGraw concert, the country crooner hauled the offending fan on stage and shoved him toward security guards. What did the southern singer belt out immediately after? "I ain't looking for trouble." Footage of the fracas, complete with a brief face-off between the fan and the star, blew to the top of Buzz.

Maria Sharapova goes for the formal look
Maria Sharapova may have lost Wimbledon, but she triumphed in the style stakes. Though buzz on the other players' fashionable outfits also spiked throughout the tennis championship, it was an article on the blonde Russian's bib-front shirt and low-cut, tuxedo-style shorts that scored with Buzz readers.

Color Don Imus unhappy
While chatting on air about Dallas Cowboys player Pacman Jones and his multiple arrests, Don Imus asked his co-host "what color" the athlete is. Upon hearing that Pacman is African-American, the shock jock replied, "Well, there you go, now we know." The radio provocateur explained himself the next day, but buzz on the comments continued to turn up the volume all week.
